Katie Summerhayes is returning for her second run at the Relentless Freeze this year. At the mere age of 14 she is a truly phenomenal freestyle skier. Since the age of 6 Katie has put skiing first in every situation even fitting her school studies around it by riding the slopes at night after school at an indoor ski slope.
She first competed in the British Snow Tour in 2007 and from there she shot off to some of the top slope style competitions. In 2008, Katie made her way to Laax in Switzerland to compete in the British Championships where she stole 1st place in the girls and 4th place overall in slopestyle and half pipe.At the time of this major success she was only 12 years old! This year in March she travelled back to Laax and managed to claim 1st overall! Katie is the youngest and only female competitor at the Relentless Freeze this year and she is rearing and ready to hit the snow: ”I am going to show the boys up. I am not scared, just excited!”
